Dear R-Help,
Has anyone gotten Xgobi to work in conjunction with R on a windows NT
platform? About a month ago there was a thread in which Peter Ho gave a set
of instructions on how to do it on windows 95. These instructions worked
perfectly when I tried to follow them on a windows 95 pc, but didn't when
it came to the NT pc on my desk. I'd be very grateful for a set of
instructions of similar detail.

>I used the xgobi3-99.zip from 03-Mar-1999 09:55. Unzip it and place in
any

>2) Download R interface windows compiled library, xgobi.zip from CRAN or
>mirror sites and installed it in your library directory under which ever

>3) Modify the xgobi.bat file found in (2) to read something like this:
>
>@echo off
>PATH=c:\windows\;
>set DISPLAY=your machine name: 0.0
>set XGOBID=c:/Xgobi3
>c:\Xgobi3\xgobi.exe %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9

>In my case my parent directory for Xgobi was Xgobi3.

>> library(xgobi)

>then you can use the function:

>> xgobi(your matrix or data.frame)
